JD Vance is the latest to join a long list of high-profiled visitors who’ve flouted some of the Vatican’s strict rules.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0US<\/a>\u00a0vice president visited Vatican City last week to meet some notable figures, including\u00a0Pope Francis<\/a>, who\u00a0passed away from a cerebral stroke<\/a>\u00a0which led to a coma and irreversible heart failure.<\/p>\n

While Vance\u00a0paid tribute to the late pontiff<\/a>, he also enjoyed visiting some historical and sacred\u00a0religious<\/a>\u00a0sites over the Easter weekend during his trip, including a visit to the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel.<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0he was slammed online for an image<\/a>\u00a0that was taken of him and his son from within the chapel as the pair admired Michelangelo’s sprawling\u00a0artwork<\/a>\u00a0across its ceiling.<\/p>\n

There are some very strict rules to observe in the chapel (Getty Images)<\/cite><\/div>\n

Some said the pic is ‘basically like giving God the finger’, since\u00a0the Vatican’s lengthy list of rules\u00a0<\/a>has a very specific policy against photography of any kind of the Sistine Chapel.<\/p>\n

As per its website, and written in bold no less, is the warning that photographs or\u00a0films<\/a>\u00a0made with ‘any type of electronic equipment’ is ‘forbidden’ with staff also authorized to ‘cancel’ (delete) such snaps from rule-breakers’ devices.<\/p>\n

However, Vance isn’t the only\u00a0famous<\/a>\u00a0face to have been slammed for apparently breaking the rules.<\/p>\n

Martha Stewart<\/h2>\n

New Jersey’s famous\u00a0businesswoman<\/a>, Martha Stewart, faced some intense backlash when she uploaded her own snaps of the secretive and sacred Sistine Chapel while on vacation in December last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust a few\u00a0iPhone<\/a>\u00a0photos of what we saw during our quiet hour in the Sistine Chapel!\u201d she wrote in the caption on\u00a0Instagram.<\/a>\u00a0\u201cI love the painting and the biblical history that is portrayed in the Chapel. This should definitely be on your bucket list.\u201d<\/p>\n

It appears Stewart made a double-whammy breach here as not only are images and film strictly forbidden for visitors, but mobile phones are also prohibited from being used in the chapel.<\/p>\n

In response to someone saying the flashes can ‘ruin the paintings’, she replied (via<\/a>\u00a0ArtNet): “We used no flashes Just our Apple iPhone 16 plus max very good camera.”<\/p>\n
